What is the greatest number of calories you've eaten in a day?

http://www.krispykreme.com/images/hotlighanim.gif

once in Paris the dinner they served me was essentially a hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with liquid cheese, that had to be good for 5k at least

fucking delicious I tell you

you didnt have to go all the way to france, you can get those at panera

i don't know, those nights when i ate a full pizza with like ice cream between halves

that's gotta put me up at 4k

or how bout the nights when i've cleaned out jars of peanut butter with slice after slice of bread

yeah i'm up there.

I once ate four big macs for lunch, which is 2160. Not sure what I ate the rest of the day, though.

Beats the hell out of me, but I wouldn't be surprised at six digits.

I don't know how I've survived some of that shit.

you didnt have to go all the way to france, you can get those at panera

not tryna snob out or nothin but trust me when I tell you that the liquid cheese in a bread bowl in France has a little less corn syrup in it than the cheez soup en Wonder you get from Panera

Probably some sort of religious feast in Sicily. Where breakfast is five cannolli and your light lunch starter is two bowls of bechemal soaked baked pasta, it tends to pile up a little.

Dude, you shoulda gottan the bread with fries in between. Not eaten it myself but it's apparently the cal diggity bomb.

Probably when I ate a big fatty meal at Hard Rock Cafe in Hawaii. The ice cream was for two people but I was alone. *weeps*

you wasted your big calorie binge at the hard rock? :(

i know :-(

Probably a holiday, maybe a football tailgate? I'm certain I've consumed 4000 calories of beer in a single day before.

kerm you like your beer!

ok now i want a good old fashioned binge :/

how many calories is 13 beers?

hmmm 1600ish?

http://www.realbeer.com/edu/health/calories.php what beer?

depends on the kind and size of the beer, I'm sure. Maybe 200 per, roughly?

i've played at soul food restaurants and just gotten wrong on piles of beans & rice, fried chicken, turkey, etc.

in recent memory, there was this night (had to consult ipso fatso thread):

my dad and stepmom came to visit tonight, so we went out for a big dinner. then i got back and my neighbors were having the first grill-out of the year, and i couldn't resist. so tonight i ate:

a bunch of mussels
fries ('frites')
bread
1/2 patty melt
crab cake
cheese cake
Anchor Steam
Dogfish IPA

and then for dessert

large burger
ear of corn
Lazy Mutt Ale x2

yeah but the lights can average like 150

but when i was fat i was eating whole tombstone pizzas on the regular.

how fat were you?

over 200 lbs

it was 13 pints of mostly Zlaty Bazant and then later on some dark lager that I cannot remember the name of cos i was zonked.

don't think it'd beat 4000 cal though unless you count the fact that i also ate about 6 fried eggs and a ton of ham at the hotel in the morning.

I'm talking a rack of High Life over a ~20 hour period.

looks like you lost a lot of weight Jordan.

I had 13 Steamwhistles (bottles,) two shots and jello shooters recently.. wild night.. considering I also had breakfast, lunch, dinner and post-bar pizza slice I probably made it to 5,000 that day - way to go, Lex :P

dunno, but it was probably when i was a freshman in college, living in the dorms and in some weird effort to try to gain weight there was a month or so when i'd eat two dinners-- one late in the afternoon, and then one a few hours later...followed by a late-night "snack" consisting of a chicken sandwich, probably chased by some raw pop-tarts or something

this was before i went veg also, so i was likely drinking tons of milk as well. and said dinners involved piles of meatstuff. i'm sure i drank a ton of soda, as well.

these days i'm the opposite, and eat like gaudi and drink like pessoa. must find a reasonable balance.

I've been eating these Quizno's $5 large subs for lunch lately. Tuna seems healthy, right? Their 'tuna melt' is like 5 cans of tuna on a sub roll, but whatever.

Apparently, Quizno's finally posted their nutritional info, and the tuna melt has 2,000 calories and 175g of fat(!)

20 Wagon Wheels in a hour, 3340 calories

are you fucking kidding

Jesus.

that is digusting.

lolmayo

disgusting but not that surprising - tuna salad (as prepared by restaurants with tons of mayonnaise) is usually one of the least healthy, most calorific menu items. plus the melted cheese...

ain't no jareds at quizno's.

we've been making tuna salad with plain yogurt and just a touch of mayo. tastes great, and not like lard.

yah but even for mayo and cheese 175g of fat should be like illegal

"b-b-but it's fish!"

Sous Chefs care not for your arterys.

i have been eating a lot of subway since it's one of the only things near work. those calories are ALL posted on the menu. jared is a faker, they're not so healthy either. (shocking news, i know)

this thread is making me hungry

sotm

Jesus Christ it's true

http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/121023.html

I mean wow

I'm thinking only about 3000. I kinda struggle to get to 2500 most days.

Nutrition at a glance
There are 690 calories in the Pizza Hut Pazone Meat Lovers.

http://content.ytmnd.com/content/0/3/3/033c93434a6f1c4a4c2d2af7cd41fd29.gif

There was a show on UK TV the other day that said a footlong meatball Subway has the same amount of salt as 20 million packets of crisps. dunno how many calories

this thread makes me feel fat and hungry and depressed

I surely have hit 3000 at pies and thighs. I hit 2000 @ 5 guys the other day -->

ha that tuna melt is even HIGH FIBER

hmmm, that is understandable. what irks me is places with signs that put things in quotes that should not go in quotes. like "NEW" -- does that mean it's not really new? i imagine them saying "new" while making air quotes.

Tesco's own brand lemonade used to have these labels where the regular kind said: Made with real lemons
and the sugar-free label said: Made "with" real lemons

I can't find them any more to do an in-depth thesis on what this could possibly mean.

i was visiting my mom last month and it turns out that every bottle of coke in her part of the world is made w/real sugar and not HFCS

isn't that "kosher"?

xpost

i mean, i guess it is technically. but in this case it's just some weird regional idiosyncrasy. lol pennsylvania!

can't spell passover without pa

i would just like to say that i have been off-the-mark in this thread

http://www.chincoteague.com/pony/rnghorse.gif

yeah, pretty much.

there is no more effective "diet" than being wicked depressed.

My (now mentally-healthy, and working on the rest of it) fat ass *seriously* begs to differ on this one...

Also, if the above was Animal Style, I would eat that. (Like I said, "working on the rest of it").

The climactic five cheese bacon fried egg triple burger that finally brought the great burger arms race of 2001 to an end...might be a contender.

i wld like those taco cats on a t-shirt

Although there was also this whole era of sedentary lifestyle where routinely I would eat like donuts for breakfast, chinese buffet or fish fry for lunch, like an entire pizza + copious amounts of beer for dinner which I'm sure had many such days.

Probably when we went to China Buffet King for a staff night out at the end of last year. Serious damage was done. Sadly it wasn't till the 4th or 5th slice of cheesecake smothered with jelly and ice-cream that my body started catching up and I realised that I might have pushed it just that little too far.

The glutton is still strong in me though. I'm looking for partners to tackle the Pizza Hut all-you-can-eat buffet, which I haven't been to since I was a teenager.

You're making me kind of want to over-eat and head straight to food coma with action movie for distraction. I know it's terrible for me and in truth I will be uncomfortable and bloated, but the process of getting there is so indulgent and delicious. Hmmm what to have for dinner....

OMG COOKOUTS. When you intersperse your eating with volleyball or hackeysack etc over the course of an entire day it is maybe easier to break the 6k caloric threshhold without really noticing.

The real caloric danger zone is terrible cases of the munchies...like, how many calories are there in one tin of cashews? Probably a shit ton.

There's a lot of fat in nuts as well.

the Pizza Hut all-you-can-eat buffet,

Used to go to this regularly with work colleagues, the staff would be rolling their eyes going "shit it's these guys again" while we necked down slice after slice

surprised no one has mentioned Thanksgiving. italian beef sandwich + turkey + 2nd helpings of previous two + beer + sweet potatoes with marshmallows + potato caserole with a gangload of sour cream and cheese + whipped cream w/side of pumpkin pie

there is no more effective "diet" than being wicked depressed.
My (now mentally-healthy, and working on the rest of it) fat ass *seriously* begs to differ on this one...

I probably have some shameful answers to this thread if the memories weren't blanked out. Now the middle-aged metabolism has totally kicked in but I still have the food tastes of a kid. Mmm, sugar, salt, fats, carbs... kind of envious of people who claim to have hit 21 and suddenly lost their taste for all that.

I know it's terrible for me and in truth I will be uncomfortable and bloated

Yeah, that goes away. But if you pick a bad action movie, you'll still have to have that stored in your brain for a long time. For gosh sake, be careful!

Oh not to worry, I have something from the Vin Diesel straight-to-video back catalog. I'm in good hands.

Pizza buffets. Oh, I have done that too many times to count, and never with wise restraint.

On my recent bike trip I was eating an extra 3,000 calories to replace lost ones, but that's kind of against the spirit of the thread, right?

3000 extra a day??
awesome

girl sometimes…<3

no idea on the calorie count, but for Mother's and Father's days the fam goes to a churrascaria (Texas de Brazil) where they ply you with all manner of meats for hours on end + potatoes and plantains.

recently bought some noodles from the local chinatown supermarket. they're the usual dried noodles, called 'round dried broad vegetarian noodle' (mi chay dac biet). look like any old noodle, maybe a bit more shrivelled. however the nutritional information on the back says:

typical values per 100g:
energy 1920kj/960kcal
protein 4.5g
carbs 60g
fat 18.5g

ingredients:
wheat flour 87%, water 10%, vegetable oil 2%, salt 1%

those calorie & fat figures seem insanely high for what's just some dried noodles, about 3 times the usual i think. also how can they consist of 18.5% fat when there's only 2% veg oil used?

have they put the wrong label on the packet or is there some way that these noodles have supersonic amounts of fat? they taste pretty much the same as normal ones

That's really weird. It's like the oil would have to be 2000% fat or something like that.

You wouldn't make noodles with as much oil as 18.5 g of fat would be. The 2% figure is probably correct, and those percentages are generally rounded up (as the salt number definitely is) - it probably should be 1.85 g of fat (approx 2%) and someone botched the g/cal section of the label based on a misplaced decimal.

Yeah 960k for 100g is pretty (o_O) for noodles.

The first post pretty much sums it up for me. However many calories a dozen Dunken Donuts have. I still don't know how I did that and survived.

As I am at the beginning of a very serious attempt to finally lose the weight I put on throughout law school and underemployment, this thread is providing me with some pretty amusing and comforting perspective.

the other day i ate this big ridiculous steak & egg & pancake breakfast WITH bacon and grits (sidenote: never used pancakes to soak up blood steak juice before, fanTASTIC), then later ate fried banana peppers, beer cheese, pork tenderloin w/ sweet potatoes and yet more grits (this time w beer cheese in them!). they were like 12 hours apart but it still felt impressive.

oh yeah and i guess i ate a piece of birthday cake also

Damn, son. That is impressive.

wait is that keyboard cat??

Re: The China Town Noodles. The values are possibly all correct, but the conversion from Kj to kcal is wrong. 1920Kj is about 450Kcal. Which at 4kcal/g for protein and carbs, and 9kcal/g fat kinda adds up.

On the subject though, we used to occasionally have eating competitions at my old flat. One was a KFC family bucket (including the 1.5l Pepsi), which was definitely over 4000 calories when we checked the nutritional info on their website. Doubt I've ever breached 5000calories in a day, though as others said; beer could easily push some days up by a thousand or so.

calorie totals = info I don't need

seriously on an unconscious quest to put back on all the weight i've lost over the last three years or so.

"extra cheese? WHY THANK YOU."

couldn't really break it down calorically by day, but this past weekend trip to visit friends was out of control--
-omelette loaded w/ fried potatoes, bacon, onion and 3 cheeses
-smoked amish ham crepe with gruyere, carmalized onions & chutney.
-an empanada full of gorgonzola, thyme, mushroom & onions
-another empanada with sauteed beef, onions & bell peppers,
-with a side slice of BBQ chicken pizza
-chorizo & huevos.
-big asss box of Reese's Pieces at the movie theatre

lots of booze

NI - I don't work in KCals but one possible explanation is that they're not dried noodles but fried noodles, like instant ramen noodles.

according to wikipedia 100g of instant ramen contains 17g of fat. maybe they mixed up nutritional labels at the plant? wouldn't be surprised..

a label mixup sounds likely - but if craigG is right about the kj>cals thing then it's likely just bad labelling (getting the fat content wrong too). im surprised as i thought food standards folks wouldn't allow this to happen, maybe checks aren't as strict re: imported foods?

lots of booze

yeah i'm guessing that whatever day it was for me, it something that included a big lunch, a big dinner, and 6 or 7 beers.

"extra cheese? WHY THANK YOU."

My oldest daughter is turning into me: cheese with some spaghetti bolognese.
